Southern California Campaigns and Projects
The local work is focused in the LA County communities of Huntington Park, South Gate and Wilmington. These communities are some of the most overburdened communities when it comes to environmental pollution, hit by both stationary (refineries, power plants, etc) and mobile (diesel trucks, freeways, etc) sources of pollution. This translates into higher exposure to chemicals that cause illnesses such as asthma, cancer, reduced lung function, reproductive harm among others. |
In Southern California, CBE works at the local and regional level to improve air quality, environmental health and quality of life. CBE organizes with community members, students, public officials, academics and allies to wage campaigns to fight for pollution prevention and reductions.
